Buly, when I first tried bring the oil pressure up in my engine by cranking
(without plugs) - no oil pressure.  I then took the oil hose off from my oil
filter to oil cooler - no oil flow.  Turns out I had reversed the IN-OUT
lines to  the remote oil filter and that prevented flow.  I have heard of
that happening to others as well. I had thought that the IN to the oil
filter went to the inner part of the filter and the OUT was taken from the
outside part of the filter - turns out its just the opposite.
